On June 9, Father Antonio Sudario performed a convalidation of marriage, which means the couple’s union is recognized and blessed by the Catholic Church. Father Tony shared, “By providing this special service, they will now be able to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion in their last days together.”
Father Tony took it upon himself to organize the special day, complete with flowers, sparkling cider and special guests, to make this end of life dream come true for husband, Miguel and wife, Antonia. Miguel was called to his eternal rest just a few days later.
This marriage blessing by Father Tony, as well as contributions by the spiritual care department, physicians, and nurses are true examples of human kindness.
